Hi Anders, This was added in the development cycle of lttng-ust 2.9. We could perhaps add a test on the pointer alignment for architectures that care about it, and fallback to memcpy in those cases. The revert approach would have been justified if this commit had been backported as a "fix" to a stable branch, which is not the case here. We should work on finding an acceptable solution that takes care of dealing with unaligned pointers on architectures that care about the difference.
